Constant False Alarm Rate Detection Based on Estimating Statistical Distribution of Non-homogeneous Sea Clutter in Sky-wave Over-the-horizon Radar

In sky-wave over-the-horizon radar (OTHR), there are some difficulties to efficiently detect targets in the non-homogeneous sea clutter by using conventional constant false alarm rate detectors. The amplitude of the clutter is supposed to follow the Weibull distribution in OTHR. Moreover, the characteristic of the clutter with a continuous region distribution in the range-Doppler (RD) map suggests...
